   I would be concerned, but I don’t really know if Facebook, umm, erm, Meta has the follow through to actually make this a reality. How many times have they had Mark Zuckerberg come out talk about some future product or idea that never came t

   Opioids are over prescribed in the US and that is only now starting to changed. There is too much focus on eliminating any and all pain. Sometimes you are injured or recovery from surgery is going to be horribly uncomfortable. Opioids shoul

   Google denies that they made this request, but recently revealed emails indicate that they did make a request along those lines. Regardless of this deal, Roku is almost certainly dead in the water. They have limited international penetratio

   Western Maryland, like most states, is already gerrymandered and that is likely their key complaint. It wouldn’t make much of a difference if it wasn’t gerrymandered, but I am sure it feels like they lack a voice politically. Fracking is li

   I wonder how these will fit my ears. The current design fits my ears perfectly whereas the pros or any other soft-tip earbuds work there way out of my ears.

   I wonder. Maybe full screen will behave differently and the menu bar will never be hidden? Otherwise I am looking at my web browser in full screen and how do you design around that? You have to push the tabs down anyway, might as well just

   I wonder how much of the outrage around this is caused by standup becoming available to a mainstream audience in a way it never has before. Stand up has always been edgy, raw and, in many cases, intentionally offensive. Stand up that had ma

    Germanmy’s climate is relatively moderate compared to most of the US. In California most people do not have air conditioning. On the east coast you will be miserable in the summer because of the high heat and humidity. No amount of passive

    I once would say Apple will never re-enter advertising. I still don’t think they will, but their continued push to make a car makes me think that they have lost focus as a company. Instead I will say why they shouldn’t from a business persp

    I have accepted this is how belts work and it is intentional for some reason, but on my first build I struggled with this. My concept was that all of the research would be centralized and wrapped with a single belt that continuously loops w

    Teachers can be fired for poor performance. It is just rare, because proving poor performance is dubious in education. Good teachers want bad teachers out. There just isn’t a motivating force for the supervisor to do it unless the teacher i

    But what individual can afford to think 50-80 years in the future? People have to do what is best for them in their life time. To be able to think 50-80 years in the future is just an incredible luxury most do not have, particularly most sm

    This is a good point. Exercise is probably correlated with a general effort to take care of yourself for either health or appearance reasons. Many people enjoy sports and exercise for recreation, but health is probably at least a secondary

    Exercise allows and even encourages you to eat/drink more because you have created a calorie deficient. At the same time, I think exercise naturally curtails drinking from entering the “problematic” zone because no one wants to workout

    I am guessing it is mostly exercise and diet related. People 50-70 years ago on average lived a very different life style in the US. The fear was that people weren’t getting enough food in the United States and the modern food industry was

    This has to be the larger play. I don’t think the Wirecutter is going to push anyone over the edge, but it rounds out the value of their subscription service and probably a first in things to come. At some point, if they offer a large enoug

    I think hiring externally is often over valued in many organizations today. There is a number of reasons for this, but one is that if you hire someone external they are more under your control than an internal hire who already has ideas of

    Yahoo is perhaps more apt of a comparison: They do not offer anything that is not easily replaceable, they fail to innovate at every turn, and their revenue is almost completely tied to advertising. You might say this describes Google as we

    I would put money in a 401K or IRA that has a real penalty of withdrawing and takes time to withdraw as to deincentivize yourself from spending. Remove yourself from your financial equation. If you have a significant other and they are bett

    If everyone is paid more but the housing supply remains limited housing prices will simply increase further. My friend in California makes twice as much as I do on the east coast. I can afford a home and he can’t. Supply and demand. Housing

    It is true, California, namely SF, has the highest density of homeless people I have ever seen. Climate, as the author points out is a huge factor, but it is really a confluence of climate, housing costs, and lenient policies toward vagranc

    The 2015 MacBook Pro was an absolute tank for me. I recently replaced it with an M1 Air, which so far has been incredible. Dare I say the best laptop I have ever used. The keyboard is great, even better than the 2015 pro and Touch ID is gre
